I stole this from Some Girl.
- I’m 31.
- I was born in Michigan.
- I now live in Indiana.
- My astrological sign is Libra.
- I have two cats.
- I graduated from Michigan State University.
- My BA is in Communication.
- I was accepted at a local school for another BA.
- But I haven’t registered for classes yet.
- I work for a large company.
- You’ve heard of it.
- I’m a registered Democrat.
- I think Bill Clinton is cute.
- I’m very opinionated.
- Especially about politics.
- I used to teach Sunday school.
- But I haven’t gone to church regularly in almost two years.
- My first crush was on the Fonz.
- I haven’t had a crush in a while.
- I hate hot weather.
- My dream job would be a travel agent.
- I cry at least once a week.
- I’m right-handed.
- My toenails are painted in Lighten Up, You’re Two Pence by OPI.
- I like to think of myself as rebellious, but I’m really not.
- I have never smoked a cigarette.
- Or done drugs.
- I can drink a bottle of wine easily.
- But I haven’t done that in a while.
- My favorite movie is “Moonstruck.”
- I feel hopeful when I watch it.
- I haven’t had a date in six weeks.
- That really doesn’t bother me.
- I subscribe to “Star” magazine.
- Actually my subscription ran out in April, but they keep sending me issues.
- I’m not going to pay for them!
- My car has leopard-print seat covers.
- I also have leopard shoes.
- I come across as sweet and nice, so the leopard serves as contrast.
- I have been in love once.
- It didn’t last.
- I told him I wanted out.
- My divorce was final in Feb. 2005.
- Sometimes I wear my engagement ring on my right hand when I’m at home. I like it.
- But I only got the “upgrade” because I was furious with me ex.
- I found out he spent a LOT of money on phone-sex calls.
- The main reason for the divorce, btw.
- I lost my virginity at 20 to my ex-husband.
- He never wanted sex as much as I did, so I stopped asking eventually.
- I had sex with someone else six weeks before the divorce was final. Is that cheating?
- I have been in therapy for two years.
- My last session is this week. I’m breaking up with her.
- I still am scared of making a commitment.
- And I’m not too keen on opening up either.
- I am a news junkie.
- Some days I don’t even turn on my TV.
- I like Harlequin “Blaze” books.
- I buy them through the mail.
- I’m too embarassed to buy them at the store.
- I have a website of erotic stories and poems.
- No, you can’t have the URL lol.
- I swear too much.
- It’s lazy.
- I gave it up for Lent one year but that didn’t last.
- My pastor even made fun of me.
- Then, as “punishment,” he made me read a passage from the Bible as part of the Maundy Thursday service.
- I had to say “cock” seven times.
- The pastor and my then-husband stood at the back of the church and laughed at me.
- Some old ladies at the church thought I was having an affair with the pastor.
- I really was just going to him for counseling.
- Well, I was counseling him too.
- And no, that’s not a euphemism lol.
- I can’t look skanky, even when I try really really hard.
- I have a pair of 5″ black heels.
- Of course I can’t walk in them.
- I haven’t worn them to bed yet though.
- I’d have sex every day if I could.
- But maybe that’s because I’m single.
- I like to be the center of attention.
- But I’m usually embarassed when I am.
- I think I’m pretty funny.
- I like to make up words and sayings.
- When my last bf and I would be kissing, I never could remember his name — but not because he was such a good kisser –
- I would have to run through a list of three or four names in my head before I got to his.
- I should have known that was a bad sign!
- My favorite song ever is “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel.
- I also really really like “Night Moves” by Bob Seger.
- And “Slow” by Kylie Minogue.
- I collect items with sunflowers on them.
- One of my friends painted me a sunflower.
- My collection started with a sunflower my grandmother painted after my grandfather died.
- It’s a sad painting, but I like it because the emotion is real.
- For my birthday, I am going to get a small shamrock tattooed on my foot.
- I am Irish.
- Even if I marry again, I will keep my last name.
- Unless I marry someone with an Irish name — then I’d consider changing it to his.
- My first wedding was very small, in Las Vegas.
- I’ve considered whether my next husband should be a first-time groom. Would we get more gifts that way??
- My blog title comes from a song called “Running for Home” by Matthew Good.
- I listen to that song while I stretch after I work out.

The Fonz? I’m going to work on forgiving you for that.
Comment by Grins - May 29, 2006 12:53 pm
Oh come on, Grins, the Fonz was h-o-t back in the day! I used to have big (like 5″ across) button with Henry Winkler’s photo atop this psychedelic background. I was young, what do you want? LOL Now he’s far from hot, but he was pretty funny on “Arrested Development.”
